NYFW designers really embraced natural hair this season, showing appreciation for braids and wash-and-go curls. Here are a few you can try.

Before Fashion Week got woke, there was always a surplus of women with straight hair on the runway. Even the girls who had natural hair had to get blowouts or weaves for the week, but that is becoming a thing of the past.

It's not just a trend on runways around the world, but a shift in the way we think about beauty and we’ve seen great examples of that on the NYFW runway recently.

To achieve the dramatic look, you'll need to tease and fluff your curls out. Don't forget the important hair accessory that really ties this hairdo together.

Ditch your usual-wash-and-go for this fishtail braid look seen at NaturallyCurly's Texture On The Runway. You can use a section of your own hair to create the plait to copy this stunning look.

This curly-haired model wore the beloved half-up, half-down style, all natural hair people love, accented with a vibrant yellow scrunchie at V Files NYFW show. All you need is a cute scrunchie and lots of curl conditioner.

Straight-back cornrows on a runway? We are here for it and excited to see it. This model wore her braids pinned up at the back, with slicked down baby hairs.

This beautiful look requires hair fibre and some skill. Oh and patience. So maybe let's consult with our favourite hairdresser for this one?

This cropped box braid with cut/frayed ends was seen on the Kimberly Goldson runway. Quirky with some edge.

Another half-up, half-down style (we've already said how much we love this one). Add a twist in front and you're runway ready. If your curls are not as defined or big, try diffusing before attempting this style.

Seen at Fe Noel, this up 'do is perfect for a night out with your girls. You'll feel like a shimmering diamond in the club. Just add some embellished pins to your already styled hair and you're good to go.
